    I love Classic Editor and despise block editing. Today I could not find a Classic Editor option. It took some doing but I was able in the past to find Classic. No more.
    What happened? Can I get it back in some way. Please bring it back if it is truly gone.

    Hi there,

    As a first step, you will want to set your account to “Show advanced dashboard pages” here: https://wordpress.com/me/account

    Just click the option shown in my screenshot here: https://d.pr/i/QqCdQz

    Once you have turned on that option, you can visit your list of posts and instead of seeing the WordPress.com admin view, you will see the more advanced “wp-admin” view. On that page you can access the classic editor via the options shown in this screenshot: https://d.pr/i/pbLBUS

    Please note that we are in the process of retiring the classic editor at some point in the future, so you will want to give the block editor a try at some point, and we are happy to address any questions you have about working with the new blocks.
